Google Chrome with Gemini review

Chrome with Gemini ranks second because it brings AI to the browser most people already use. Google's page describes Gemini in Chrome as a sidebar assistant that answers questions across open tabs, lets you select a part of a page to ask about, summarizes YouTube videos and creates Calendar events. Skills in Chrome saves prompts you reuse, and Nano Banana makes or edits images in the tab. The feature that matters for this list is auto browse, which has Gemini do tasks such as filling a shopping cart or booking a reservation. Google limits it to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the U.S. and India, so many users outside those markets get the assistant but not the agent. The subscription page we fetched showed local currency only, so the USD price is pending. If you want to stay in Chrome and live in a supported country, this is the lowest-friction option here.

Who it is for

Chrome users who want AI help without switching browsers and who already pay for, or plan to buy, Google AI Pro.
